Endless repairs contuing over headlights, which keep blowing out over and over and over again and where electrical connections all by themselves stop connecting swo that there is intermittent headlights.

3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2016

Friday March 11, 2016 while driving to work on the george bush turnpike where the speed limit is 70 mph my car loss all power and would not restart, luckily it was 5:30am when the traffic was light and I felt the power starting to dwindle and was able to reach the shoulder without injury. I'm leasing the car from drivetime of irving and was not informed of this defect. I found out through my research trying to figure out what was wrong with the that was a November 2007 recall. I am amazed that these cars are still on the road and being sold with no warning. Thank god that I was one of the lucky ones and not accident occurred.

4 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/30/2013

I own a 2005 Nissan Sentra 1. 8s. We were replacing a few problem areas under the hood, and after replacement noticed the car would not drive more than 30mph. Even getting it up to 30mph is a struggle. We took it to a couple repair shops, including a local Nissan dealership. No one is able to identify the issues we have replaced the throttle body (which is one meant for a 2006 year not 2005), and the gas pedal position sensor, 3 times. The car has been sitting for the last 5 1/2 months. Nissan does not know what the issue is. They charged me for the gas pedal position sensor, even though we just had it replaced and that part was in fact a good part! they charged us for their unfounded guesses.

5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2011

Front passenger side window will not go up or down, it is raining, snowing. This is second window to fail in this car. It is unsafe to have electric windows that are so shoddily made. I dont use that window much. I am sure they all will fail at this rate. All 4 of them.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2010

I bought me a 2005 Nissan Sentra 1. 8 on January of 2010. I was told by the dealer that they get great gas mileage and are a very reliable car to have. I have learned fast this was not so. My car is now not wanting to start, it is shifting very hard and sometimes wont shift and I can smell something burning especially when driving up a hill, my keypad will not work to lock or unlock my car but will open the trunk, the lock-unlock button inside the car will not work, and none of my windows will roll down. This is bs. I have told and will proceed to tell everyone I know to not buy a Nissan. This has made me not want to trust any of your vehicles again and I will probably go to a diff. Dealer and get something well worth my money. I am not paying 8,000 dollars on a car that just keeps tearing up, especially when parts are way to expensive!.

7 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2006

This car has been a lemon since purchased. The drivers door handle quit working, the transmission chirps when shifting, it idles rough, and it turns over probably 40 times before starting. Dealership states since it has 36,000 miles on it that it will cost an estimated $1700. 00 to fix. This car had problems from the date of purchase. Beware of the Sentra.

8 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2006

I have had problems with my car since I got it. I bought it used at smithtown Nissan in August 2006. I have been told that there is a part, I believe a sensor, that needs replacing and I have gotten a continupis run around both f rom smithtown Nissan and from the Nissan dealer in plattsubrgh, NY where I go to school. A light kept going on nas summer and when I took it back to Nissan because I had to drive b ack to school with it. They said it would be alright. But on the way to school the light went on again. I took it to the Nissan dealer in plattsburgh who said it needed a part and they would order it and that it would take a few weeks. After I didn't hear from them I called and they said they had called me but I didn't return their call and so they returned the part. This never happened! they said they would have to order the part again and that it would be in the end of Dec. Well now I'm back in ronkonkoma and obviously can't go back to the plattsburgh Nissan. I am very worried about this problem as I drive back and forth from ronkonkoma to plattsburgh and I am afraid that something will happen.
